I was honored to be a guest teacher at the Brood and Tribe Pop up workshop earlier this month and it was so much fun to share some of my tips and tricks for photographing families. The workshop was put on by two amazing photographers Jana Foo and Jamie Jones who have been doing an amazing job of […]

SURPRISE ENGAGEMENTS ARE MY NEW JAM!! Adam contacted me MONTHS ago and let me know that he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend and was looking for someone to document it. I was insanely excited that he picked me to capture such an amazing and life turning event. I found myself with sweaty palms and […]

I call this shoot a creative love child.  I had this idea of models with huge flower headdresses bouncing around in my head for a few months but had zero idea how to execute it. I reached out to a local styled shoot group and Annie Chen of Floral Sunshine was excited to take on the […]

This blog post is quite possibly going to be my favorite of ALL time, and there is a good reason. This session was a session that I planned for my mom and dad’s 30th wedding anniversary! YES, 30 years of an amazing marriage that I have had the privilege of watching and learning from.  Little […]

This couple means a lot to me because the man is my brother and the woman is my soon to be sister in law! We went to Vegas last November for my moms 50th birthday and while we were there I suggested we shoot their engagement session there. They agreed without hesitation and I knew It […]

As I always say, “Who needs feeling in their toes?”  😉 This is Holly and Andrew and these two were absolute troopers as I drug them around the top of Mt. Hood. Originally I thought we would head to a nearby lake where there was no snow, but the road was blocked off and we […]

More than year ago I shot these images. Yes, that long ago. Originally I edited them all light and pretty and sent a few out to the world. One of the two or three I edited actually got featured on a popular photographers site called Looks Like Film. It’s what I thought everyone wanted to see. […]

2017 was my busiest year to date. Maybe that is why I have been so bad at blogging. (Probably not the reason but sure, I’ll blame that.) I have been blessed to have so many amazing clients and to document many amazing life moments. I figured I should do a big end of the year […]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged anything! As some of you might have heard I moved! I didn’t go too far.  Only about 15 minutes from where I was but man, moving sucks. We are in the process of getting new flooring so we decided not to move in any of our furniture […]

I’m finally getting around to blogging this amazing elopement. Better late than never right?! It was a rare sunny day in February (In OREGON and on the beach!) when Derek and Kristin said, “I do.” The day was so peaceful and full of joy that I honestly don’t think there was a classic wedding day […]
